/lit/ - Literature

they see me bumpan'.

pratchett's really good. it's a pity he has alzheimer's.

I really liked his books as a teenager, and i'd probably enjoy them if i went back to them now. i used to find them hilarious, generally i loved that kind of humour that pratchett has.
although i haven't read his most recent books, i have noticed a bit of an attempt to be more topical than in previous books, with going postal, and the one about money, which were good, i guess, but not as good as i remember them being when i first got into them. i guess it's hard to keep a high standard up for so long, what is it now, like 30 books on the same place? also i really like the book covers, you can just stare at them for hours.

Jingo has sandniggers in it, that's pretty topical.

Have you actually read the book, anon?

Also, what do you think of his non-discworld literatuire, /lit/?

I thought good omens was pretty cash.

>>1116275
Yes.
Yes I have.
I've read many of his, Mort and Pyramnids would have to be my favourite though. :)

>>1116279

Ah. Not really a big fan of the death series.

Vimes > Witches > Rincewind > Death imho.

>>1116275
I'll agree with that :)
TOODLES!

Curious squid were curious.

To be honest I've only read the first three pages so that's the only reference I could make.

i've only read like 2 or 3 of his books, but i definately want to read more.
